Video Post No.2 - A Baby and Dinner Out

So I'm doing 2 things tonight that I haven't done in a while :
1) Go out with a friend - Upcoming exams and/or the fear of upcoming exams have kept me locked up at home. The state of my social life is so incredibly pathetic right now.
2) Put up videos - Aaah we all like these don't we. However due to reason no.1, I haven't had any real motivation to put videos, but now I do!

The Stork Comes A-Visiting (not to me)


Yup it's true! Just g0t the news last night that one of my very oldest and dearest friend is expecting. Friend, if you're reading this, please don't read the previous post.
You have been warned!
:)

Right, so Mink and I went out for dinner tonight at the Indian eatery nearby. This is a place we've visited many many times before and it always cracks us up mainly coz the waiters NEVER fail to either a) forget my order or b) screw up the bill..anyway view on, dear viewer/reader-

Alright. Let's talk about 'Decor'

The constant shifty look to my left is because the waiters are ALWAYS around, dammit!
Anyway the aforementioned screens always have semi naked women dancing to bastardized old hindi classics. It's INCREDIBLY distracting.
Is it any surprise my brother loves eating here? Or more specifically, is it any surprise that he always chooses the table with the best view?

Let's get Down and Dirty. Let's talk 'Food'

I could've sworn once that the packet of ready-made paneer makhani tasted EXACTLY like the one I order here everytime.
*Shrugs* But I'm not expert......or am I?

Ah Waiters. Them again.

*small voice* Waiters bring back bad memories.
"....we're scared they might......."
I know a couple of people who wouldn't mind completing that sentence. :P
Like I mentioned..they were EVERYWHERE and my food hadn't arrived yet. I didn't want to risk nuffin'.

Of Conclusions and Cleavage

I was to go into this deep, serious talk about how frustrating it is when the waiters ALWAYS mess up my order and then....Mink, what is WITH you? Every 5 seconds I would spy the camera going a tad lower than it should.
Oh stop rewinding the video.
Pervs.
Anyhoo, surprisingly they didn't botch up anything tonight. They were ultra attentive to our every needs too. No repeating of orders, no waving frantically to get a waiters attention, hell they even lowered the tvs volume for us.
Your guess is as good as mine. Heh.


So yes..thats a night out for me and Mink.

On an unrelated note, I've noticed NO ONE IS BUYING MY ART.
Mahima is displeased.
Hmpf.

Belated Diwali Wishes, A Warning and my MY VERY FIRST VIDEO POST!

Okay this post should have actually been done ages ago but a rather unfortunate incident took place, which delayed its posting..anyway..things are back to normal and so you get to see this post!

This was taken at Roohi's place, about 2 weeks back I think, when Mink and I had gone to her place for Diwali.
I thought 'Hey! Let me do a Miz B. ..should be interesting enough' and out came the camera.

**It's come to my attention that some of you can't view the video, so I've tweaked my youtube settings a bit and hopefully if you can't view it on the blog, you should be able to see it on youtube!

Yes..I am indeed holding a star...for better lighting..you shouldn't be surprised really.
(And yes...I notice I say '..and umm' a lot. This is because I actually get a bit nervous when I'm filmed...go figure!)
Thank you Miz Bohemia for the inspiration!
(Alternatively, please send all hate mail to Miz Bohemia for the inspiration :D)

Speaking of lighting...a rather unfortunate tale is to be told of too much light.

Now as you all might know, Diwali is the festival of lights and most people believe in the custom of keeping a lamp lit for 3 nights during this festival period (or rather the festival period that just passed).

This is NOT a good idea.

A friend of mine had her house almost burnt down because a lamp fell over, which then proceeded to set her kitchen, prayer room and living room ablaze. I'm not talking about a little fire that could be put out with a bucket of water. I'm talking fire engines, hospitalization due to smoke inhalation and loss of property worth a lot of money.

Thank God no one was hurt.


It's none of my business telling people how to run their religious affairs but I'm going to anyway.
God is NOT going to get pissed off at you for not keeping a lamp lit for 3 nights. I know coz he told me. Okay kidding, but come one...let common sense prevail. The same goes for Christmas lights, birthday candles and anything else thats fire-related.

God helps those who help themselves. He also helps the smart ones.
So for pete's sake...don't leave stuff burning or otherwise lit up overnight.
